Refining your baseline model
Tip
To refine your baseline model, start at the top of the process graph and step through the different objects and events. You can then click directly into the process graph and make any changes you want. For information about how to read your process graph, see understanding the process graph.
Check | Example | ||
---|---|---|---|
Look for and remove undesired bypasses | In this example, Send Purchase Order is optional because it is on an exclusive path next to an empty path. Remove the empty edge. ![]() | ||
Check event orders and dependencies | Look for events that have a dependency and put them on the same path. In this example, Set Payment Block and Release Payment Block were initially on different paths: ![]() Here, they are on the same path: ![]() | ||
Check for self-loops | Click a self-loop in your process graph and then click the trash button to delete it from the baseline model. ![]() | ||
Check for unmapped events | Click where you want to add an event in the process flow then click Add Event. NoteAdd Event displays only if there are unmapped events for the selected object type.
Choose the event type you want to add from the dropdown list of unmapped events or use the Search field to find the specific event you want to add. This list only includes unmapped events for the object type you're adding the event to. The dropdown also includes an event count for each available event type. NoteIf you choose an event that is already included in the model for a different object type but is not connected to the object type you selected, the events will be automatically merged in the process graph.
Once you select an event, it is inserted into the process graph at the location you selected. | ||
Delete events from a process flow | Click the event you want to delete and then click the trash can to delete.
If the event you selected is included in multiple object types, click the dropdown arrow next to the trash can and select the event you want to delete.
The event is deleted from the model and Process Adherence Manager automatically connects the events immediately before and after the event you deleted. At least one event must remain in the process flow for it to be saved. | ||
Delete edges between two gateways (bypasses, self loops and back loops) | You can remove any edge that connects two gateways (exclusive or parallel). Click the edge you want to remove and then click Remove Edge (trash can). Once the edge is removed, Process Adherence Manager will update the model automatically to connect the events before and after the edge you removed. For example, you can remove an edge that bypasses two other exclusive events: ![]() ![]() You can also remove an edge that bypasses an event stream: ![]() ![]() | ||
Check for missing events in the mined model | The events you’re looking for may not be part of the top X variants or the variants you selected. In the custom variant selection, search for variants that include the event you’re looking for and add one. You can also add any events later on during modeling. | ||
Add and remove self-loops | During modeling, you can also add or remove loops directly from your process model. Click on a loop in the model and then click Add self loop or Remove self loop. ![]() | ||
Add bypasses and exclusive/parallel blocks | Click where you want to add a bypass or exclusive/parallel block and select the appropriate option in the menu. |
